Major Grant
The mission of PHPDA, and the Major Grants program, has long been to achieve health equity in King County. By funding in three specific areas, we aim to deepen the impact and support that community organizations can provide to those who need it most.
Specific populations are facing heightened threats to their safety, security, and access to care, and the organizations that support them are experiencing drastic funding cuts. Our Major Grant program aims to support these organizations who are facing disproportionate burdens to their wellbeing. This year, Major Grants will be limited to organizations with projects in one or more of these three focus areas:
- Gender Affirming Care and/or HIV Prevention and Care for LGBTQIA2S+ Communities
- Barrier-Reducing Healthcare Delivery for Immigrant and Refugee Populations that is Responsive to Community Concerns
- Access to Birth Control and Abortion Care
Funding for service delivery is limited to King County. There are no geographic restrictions on the residence of clients served or advocacy efforts, as long as the program can demonstrate the use of funds addressing disparities in health among residents of the Puget Sound region (King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties).
